Twas the Night Before Xmas...




Twas the night before Christmas
Top 10 Toys for 2017
That's Amaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazing
Random Joke
Finish with a Song




Twas Christmas on Facebook, when all through the house
Every parent was posting, and clicking their mouse
The Instagram filters were chosen with care,
In hopes that each image would soon get a share.

Each status included a funny thing their kid said
So much to be documented, so much to be read!
And baby on his potty, and nipper mid-nap
Everyone tagged and placed on a app

When somewhere outside there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from my laptop to see what was the matter
Away from my screen I began to explore
Blinked in the real light, and opened the door

The moon was so pretty -- like my promoted post!
And I suddenly saw it: a surprise to say the most
Yes, what to my straining eyes should appear,
But a teeny tiny sleigh, and eight short reindeer.

When a little old driver climbed down the apparatus
I immediately wanted to update my status
But quicker than bullets his phrases they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called to my shame.

"Now, Friend Me! now, Like Me! now, Poke Me and Share!
On, Political Rant! On, Pet Photo! On, Awkward Public Prayer!
To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!"

And then I realised my posting was belated
Why, I'd describe Santa's visit like this: "It was Complicated!"
As I reached for my phone and clicked the app
Suddenly on my shoulder there came a gentle tap

He looked kind of weary, that Santa, all told
And he told me my updates were getting quite old
The corny jokes, the selfies, the endless blog updates
They were wearing thin and starting to grates

"Your dog photos -- so annoying! Your puns  -- so corny!
You're cluttering my news feed with statuses that bore me!"
His fat flipping mouth was open so wide 
I think he was telling me off and being quite snide

He spoke not a word more, but went straight to my browser,
And perused my Timeline as he hitched up his trousers
And rubbing his head with a murmur of "How banal,"
And giving a nod, he deleted my Wall!

Then he sprang to his sleigh, and to the deer's gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like a North Korean missle
But I heard him exclaim, "You're not a bad lad,
Happy Facebook to all, I think you're all mad!"
